I am all for firearms safety, however if one purchases a newly built residence in the neighborhood of a range that has been in a previously rural area for a number of years one should anticipate some inconvenience. Not sure how a bullet fragment came so close to the homeowner; most ranges I've seen have extensive earth berms to prevent exactly that.

Neither article indicates how far the range is from the rest of the developed area.

The article says she believes she was hit by a fragment.

But it is entirely possible this "incident" was concocted by someone who didn't like the range nearby and is trying to have it shut down. IIRC there was a report somewhat similar to this where someone who moved into a formerly rural area tried to show a live cartridge that had never been fired and claim it came from a nearby range.

Again, I am not opposed to a safety inspection and upgrading of barriers if they are determined to be needed. Shouldn't be too expensive; stacked up used railroad cross ties would work for most cases.
